What do you get when you cross a sweet, young, newly engaged couple with a house full of raving mad lunatics? You get one of the greatest cult classic films of all time!
Rocky Horror Picture Show is a campy, musical spoof on the haunted-castle horror movie, encompassing a ’70s glam-rock world of androgyny with characters that are more than offbeat. Adults have been gathering at ritualistic midnight showings of Rocky Horror across the country since its 1975 debut, contributing to it becoming a cult classic.
Made from a hit stage show, the premise of the movie is this – the young couple get lost and stumble across a mad transvestite doctor and his minions from the planet Transsexual. He is in the midst of unveiling Rocky Horror, a humanoid creation who unfortunately spurns the doctor’s advances, much to his annoyance. The film follows Brad and Janet’s descent into the world of Dr. Frank N. Furter and his minions. And what delightfully transpires after that is pure kitsch...
